Lucidi Emmanuele
Memorie Storiche Dell'Antichissimo Municipio Ora Terra Dell'Ariccia e Delle Sue Colonie Genzano E Nemi Dedicate a Sua Eccellenza Il Signor D. Agostino Chigi
Rome: Presso I Lazzarini 1796. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. xii 502 pp. Full and rich history of Ariccia and surrounding towns on the outskirts of Rome to the Southeast of the City by Castel Gandolfo the Papal Summer Residence. Ariccia is one of the most ancient cities in Italy dating to at least the ninth century B.C. This history concentrates mostly on the seventeenth and eighteenth century when it was ruled by the powerful Savelli Chigi family which produced one pope Alexander VII and built a grand residence in the town that has been used many a time as a movie set such as in Visconti's "Il Gattopardo" "The Leopard". While it is over two millenia since the town yielded to Rome's preeminence as a city Ariccia continued to be the next most important city in Lazio for long stretches of history owing to its propitious location on the Via Appia the first way station on the road between Rome and Naples and its pleasant salubrious climate in contrast to malalial Rome made it a favored resort for the powerful of Rome in prior centuries. This copy of the history a model of municipal histories in its day is very good. There is some light and occasional foxing yet little that could be considered disconcerting. The exception would be the four places where a prior owner presses leaves which left a residue and in one instance may have created a tiny wormhole type of hole. However the small amount of loss has no effect on readability where it occurred. The vellum has an attractive mottled almost tiger striped design. Book is tight. Occasional light pencil notes a word or two in each case affecting a handful of pages. Still a very good copy. <br/><br/> Presso I Lazzarini hardcover books

Weever John
Ancient Funerall Monuments Within the United Monarchie of Great Britaine Ireland and the Islands Adjacent with the Dissolved Monasteries Therein Contained: their Founders and What Eminent Persons Have Beene in the Same Interred.
London: Thomas Harper 1631. Hardcover. Good. First edition. 4to. xvi 871 14 index pp extra engraved title page by Thomas Cecil eighteen woodcut illustrations six full-page. Foliation can be supplied upon request. Text is printed within a ruled frame with headpieces tailpieces and floriated initials. Contemporary full polished calf with hand-tooled decorative borders in blind to both boards six raised bands red morocco label with gilt lettering on backstrip edges speckled red. A good copy internally bright and crisp with light scattered foxing lacks the portrait of John Weever but has the extra engraved title-page and original index the original title-page appears to have been carefully cut along the margins and mounted on what was formerly the ffep the engraved title-page is similarly mounted on a blank leaf from the book that has been detached and slipped in covers are rubbed and scuffed joints are shaken and split though still attached .Notwithstanding these defects the contents are clean intact and very good. In addition to being a discourse on its subject this work is a compilation with commentary on epitaphs arms and inscriptions on tombs monuments church windows et al. The work focuses on the dioceses of Canterbury London Norwich and Rochester. Lowndes and DNB both citing Wharton's Anglia Sacra note that John Weever 1576-1632-poet anthologist and antiquary-made extensive errors in the interpretation of numbers and in transcription. However both note the work's great utility to historians and biographers. Writing in 1899 Sidney Lee who wrote the Weever entry in DNB points out that " .almost all sepulchral inscriptions in Weever are now obliterated" and that "despite its defects Weever's book is invaluable." This copy conforms to the collation and pagination in ESTC S118104 and the Melvyl/UCR record. Recorded copies are often defective lacking either preliminary blanks engraved title-page the frontis portrait or the index. STC 2nd 25223. Lowndes p. 2867-68. NCBEL 1:1158; NUC 653 p. 270.

Al'bom revoliutsionnoi Rossii Album of Revolutionary Russia
Russian Socialist Federation 1919. Hardcover. Good. Oblong folio 11 x 14 inches string-tied 47 pp with half-tone photographs of scenes and people relating to the Russian Revolution. Place of publication not indicated; we have seen credible suggestions of both Petrograd and New York. We have seen other copies described as having 48 pages so it is possible this copy is missing a page though we do not see evidence of removal. Boards worn spine re-covered and ties replaced title page unprofessionally re-attached on a stub with cloth tape. Chipping to title page and staining to first illustrated page otherwise internally clean and sound. Apparently produced for an American audience captions are in Russian and English a price in dollars is printed on the back cover the album includes portraits of various leaders of the Revolution and officials of the new republic images of groups of workers soldiers and scenes of military action demonstrations celebrations political meetings etc. Russian Socialist Federation hardcover books
